- Wo ye hen xiang ta -

There is a story of two friends walking along. They came to a road and were about to cross it when they saw an old lady by the side. She was too scared to cross in the heavy traffic. So the two men decided to carry her across. She was quite heavy.

After letting the lady down on the other side of the road, the two men continued on their walk. One of them whistled a happy tune. He was glad he had helped the old woman.

The other man complained the lady was so heavy that his hands were sore and he now had a backache. He turned to his friend and asked, “How can you be so happy? She was so heavy. My back hurts.” The friend replied, “Yes, she was heavy. But I left the heavy load 10 minutes ago. Why are you complaining so much? You sound like you are still carrying the lady. I am happy I don’t have the load now. And I am happy I had helped her. Why are you still carrying her?”
